It’s the windy, wonderful, wacky, weird month! Anything may be possible for some, while for other’s there’s still time to avoid meeting the ghosts of past, present and future later in the year. Happy Halloween and Happy Diwali, if you’re celebrating, and if you’re not, smile anyway. Things-they-are-changing, to misquote from Planet51 😀

*only for entertainment purposes.

 Libra

It’s time for you to be Venus’ favorite! Love and money flows in this month! Or at the very least, some sort of whirlwind romance in love or with your ideas sweeps you away.

October begins with wonderfully gooey feelings of love and that all’s well in the world. You’ll fall in love at the drop of a hat (like that’s a new thing) or be offered that dream job or vacation. Emotional fulfillment is all yours and there may even be some glitter of gold (or gilt!) attached.

Mid-October strengthens the bonds formed earlier in the month. And if it’s love, it may well be of the true sort. There’s lots of togetherness, emotional depth and harmony on the domestic and love front.
You may also be having a whale of a time—romance, friendship and fun are found in what you usually regard as work. There’s support too, just when you least expect it.
For many it’s a very fertile month—both for producing little kiddies and for producing wonderful new projects.

October comes to an end on a very satisfying note. For a select few it may end with a solid commitment either from your new love or from your work situation. There’s money and stability to bless your creativity, and reward for hard work put in earlier in the year. You may be off on a short holiday, which helps you reconnect with nature and team members you like working with.
Could life be any better?

Scorpio

Life may seem to be on pause to help you gain a firmer footing.

October begins on a very slow note. While it seems the sun refuses to shine on you, life is merely giving you time to brush up and add the polish to your ideas and plans. It’s a good time for reflection and taking it slow to adjust to all the changes in your life—and those still to come.

Mid-month brings a generous earth-sign into your sphere. They may be a financially gifted friend, or one who helps you find practical solutions in a fun and easy way. They’ll help you see the beauty in life again.
Getting outdoors on a trail walk or short hike (or even short picnic) will bring a new perspective and some contentment to you. For those in the North, the weather will be wonderfully pleasant at this time, with brilliant sunsets and rainbows. Brave the chill and take your camera on your walks.

October comes to a close with you in a more mature frame of mind. Now is the time to heal your emotions and your beliefs. Forgiveness will come easily, and so will healing your heart in any way that’s required. This includes surgical procedures. Barbecues will go well, as will reuniting with family.

Sagittarius

Love and work is a bit of juggle this month. Fun’s on your mind, but it’s up to you find it!

The month begins with the feeling that there’s more to life than this. You may find yourself at Libra’s impromptu proposal, or at other celebrations which make you re-evaluate your relationships and what you’d like to see in your future. More fun makes the top of the list, and while it seems far away, a new friend or two may help your find a healthy new way to bring back some lightness into your daily routine.

Mid-October may bring some delay to any matters of the heart and your new passion. This may be because of a feeling of lethargy, or not quite knowing how to proceed. There is more to life than you thought. Take another closer look, change your perspective and allow your creativity to guide you. Kick-starting your love-life or new project is that easy, if you let it be.

Towards the end of the month, you’ll have to juggle matters carefully to retain your new-found sense of energy and fun. Consider changing your work routine to one that is aligned more to your natural rhythms. Don’t forget to budget for your new interests and to make time for both old friends and new.

Capricorn

Staying optimistic reveals the true opportunities and the real you.

The month begins on a sticky note when you may feel that no change is likely in your life. It’s not a good time to take risks while some information, which may be vital at a later stage, may be obscured. Take a deep breath and admit that this time is actually very helpful in allowing you to reconsider your plans and objectives for the months ahead.

Mid-month there may be some serious storms with hurricane-like intensity around shores close to you. Delay travel plans if you can until after 18 October 2017. A conflict or debate between traditional and non-traditional ways/methods may draw you in and bring new opportunities along with them.

October comes to a close on a generous note. Unexpected bonuses, gifts, or prizes may find their way to you. And if they don’t, new career opportunities or a financial break will have you smiling instead. Remember to share your bounty and to put some away for a rainy day or, perhaps, help boost your nest-egg.

Aquarius

With lots of thoughts and ideas revolving around your head, you might want to step out and look around to see what successes you can achieve.

October begins with you finally finding closure on an emotional or passionate issue that’s been dragging on for quite some time now. Self-forgiveness is part of your healing, so don’t forget to include yourself on your list. Ideas which may have been previously rejected may find new life at this time.

Mid-month brings endings and new beginnings, plus a dose of spiritual enlightenment. Peace may surround you and keep you isolated from any negativity around you. Dance, as an exercise or form of expression, may work well for you now, especially traditional and folk dances.

October closes with you likely feeling stressed, or unable to take a vacation with a new situation or cycle beginning—back to school or back to a routine which demands much from you mentally. Try almonds as a snack and make sure you stick to your dance routine, even if it’s only in your kitchen.

Pisces

Clearing your mind and finding your own way brings a lightness to your step and heart.

The month begins with you experimenting with words, ideas and messages. You may be learning a new language or writing a new project. It’s allowing you to feel a long-lost part of yourself which re-introduces you to your unique individuality. It’s a good time to journal to help retain your insights and clarity.

Mid-October is wonderfully abundant with good vibes and happenings. You may be the soul of a party or gathering, and children and little animals may flock to you to bask in your nurturing presence. Don’t forget to treat yourself, and not just others at this time. You might want to start working on your Halloween ideas a little earlier than usual, too. Don’t forget to drink lots to water to maintain your energy levels and flush out your system.

The month winds down with some passion or love issues simmering just under the surface. They are percolating at the moment and are only likely to surface early next month, so no need to stress about them now. Travel delays may come around at this time, particularly in warmer than expected weather. Other messages about long-term projects or new jobs may also be temporarily delayed. It should all work out in your favorite, so no worries.

 Aries

If ever there was a time for you to hurry off to Gretna Green or marry in Las Vegas (or pretend that you are), this might be it!

October begins on a lower than expected note for you when a celebration may be delayed—or someone’s planning all the fun out of it. If it’s your future spouse, it’s time to have that talk, and if it’s your future-in-laws, you may feel like eloping… Whatever’s going through your head. It’s best to discuss it with all those involved. If it’s your graduation ceremony, you may want to take some extra time off, or allow more time than you expect as there might be delays in transport due to heavy rains.

If those wedding plans are still a problem, mid-October is the last chance for you to ensure everyone’s on the same page (unless you are eloping*) and that the budget won’t be exceeded. At work, recognition may be delayed due to an audit or some other evaluation you may have to wait on. It’s coming, so smooth out that frowny-face and turn your energy to more productive avenues.
*I am in no way advising you to elope. Your personal business and choices are, as always, your own.

Oh, yay! It’s a beautiful time for you, come the end of October! Everything’s turning out better than expected: from weddings to Halloween parties, from love to work. Even a short vacation to a little island somewhere balmy. All’s well in life as it meets you with a smile. And if you’re still (or suddenly?) single you may now meet a wonderfully romantic soul who has the same response to cheddar-cheese as you.

Taurus

If you like roller-coasters you’re in luck this month. If not, you’ll want to make sure you’re carrying a barf-bag—just in case…

The month begins on a happy, magical note for you with money coming in or flowing well, stability at home and work, and a great sense of fulfillment and contentment. You may want to look through your records again, though, because a financial agreement may be coming to an end, or the one you’ve signed may now be subject to change. Call your brokers just to be on the safe side and avoid committing to any long-term new expenses (like that car or vacation) just yet. Remember to make the best of your time outdoors as you may get quite busy later in the month.

Be careful of your back around mid-month and try to keep up both your exercise and meditation routines. There may be a change in your responsibilities with less time spent working late, so it may well be time to start considering what ‘a balanced life’ looks like to you.

October comes to an end with you feeling ‘de-crowned’ in some way—dentist appointment, perhaps—or apprehensive about your image. You may want to tighten your budget or tone your belly, even if it’s temporary. Issues with your mother or beloved may also be unpredictable, so think twice before saying anything that may be misconstrued. That said, silence can be misconstrued as well, so do say something even if it’s ‘Hmm.’

Special note: It looks like a significant and confusing time in love for you with your relationship switching from one opposite to the next with little apparent rhyme or reason. Stay calm and let things play out till the end of the month before making any major decisions. Or hang out with Aries to get another perspective.

Gemini

It’s time to deal with that big elephant in the room—you know, that one’s that taking up all that mental space.

The month starts with the outer world mirroring you inner world, which is how the rest of us are going know about that elephant. It’s time to let go of things and thoughts which no longer serve you and hold you down. And with you constantly being distracted by the virtual/mental pachyderm, you may be missing out on some really important details in your life which may see you on shaky ground later. It’s time to act on decisions, break your old habits and not let your mental merry-go-round turn your life into a circus.

Mid-month is an excellent time to break old habits, celebrate any and all progress you’ve made in looking at the world anew (and showing the elephant the door). Clear insights are possible, and doing heart-centred exercises will help you stay grounded. It’s a good time to vision-board and find closure on matters which still distract you from your present life.

October ends with a renewed sense of hope and a feeling of progress. An old situation is ending, possibly with a finality that is rock-solid. It’s time to look to the future, find your new path, and get your focus back. Dig out your best ideas, put your best foot forward and know that the ones that matter most to you are behind you, or cheering you along every step of the way.

Cancer

A little push forward brings all those delays to an end.

The spotlights turning towards you as the month begins. It’s time to take stock and feel that sense of accomplishment which you so richly deserve. Find your courage and own your achievements. Others’ are backing you all the way even as your detractors fall behind.

Mid-month brings a slew of communication and sudden trips, either for business or love. For some, others may be traveling to you for the same reasons. New ideas and offers will be easily accepted, and all you have to do is to keep track and respond to all the opportunities you have before you.

The momentum continues through to the end of October. Matters may move at a hectic pace so that your life will look quite different come next month. Trust that you’ll handle matters with grace as life takes on almost a fairy-tale-like quality with your benevolent fairy-godmother directing the scenes of your life.

Leo

A heavy start to the month makes for a lighter time at month’s end.

October begins on a busy note. Delegate tasks, organise your time well and ensure you guard your health. Overseas travel may be delayed due to heavy storms or volcanic activity. Indigestion may be a product of irregular eating times, so ease back on the spices and try to stick to your regular meals where-ever you can.

You’ll work well with Libra come mid-month. They’ll help you see what’s necessary and what’s not in your life. You may want to jettison some old belongings or ideas to allow more balance and space in your life. Sailors may find seas very smooth or becalmed unexpectedly. Allow more time to reach home if you’re going out on the water.

October ends on a high, fun note. A short vacation or a long celebration is on the cards—if you’re not at one, you’ll be planning one (or both). Chance meetings with friends may turn into longer socials, and a celebration at work to mark the end of a project may make your day.

Virgo

Exciting new ideas may have some teething problems, but work out in the long term.

The month begins with new and exciting ideas begging for attention. Look for complementary ideas and build it up to one idea much like you would a puzzle. Think like a child and let the joy of creating carry you along.

A feeling of isolation may bring up old issues over finances, community or self-worth. Hang onto your earlier high energy and new ideas to help you find your way to safer ground. Allow the old and unused to fade away while you find your true freedom.

October comes to an end with the birthing of your new dreams. A feeling of well-being and contentment marks new beginnings for you. Curiosity of others will work to your betterment, and recognition of your labors will be rewarded. Spirituality, you’ll feel reconnected to nature and your true purpose of being.

Have a fab month!
